Olukonia [ɔlʊkɔnɪa] solved the mystery of the shayas' origin. When people from the Federation of Althea landed the planet was uninhabited. They have found ruins of a dozen outposts from the First Empire. In contrast, there are no signs of large-scale agriculture during the last tenmillennia. The entire planet instead seams to have been set off as some sort of natural reserve.A possible explanation is the planet's combination of entirely different life-forms which undisturbed interactions they wanted to study. Biochemical examinations show them to have three different origins. One of them matches humanity's. Another one matches the indigenous life-forms of Gaardinn. The third origin is indigenous.People from the Federation of Althea first landed on Olukonia in 4146 AD. Since the planet was uninhabited it soon became a colony of Setovar. The map below shows the vegetation zones before this colonisation.
